I believe that, to a large ex tent, it is this call for more money that is filling our asylums with so many tired mothers ana rntners, nna the prisons with their children. "Buried treasure. More buried than thouch dead. You say: 'how- did all the debts come?' I believe it is Public Opinion, living from day to day without keepingstrictaccountof income and disbursements; not mak ing them balance. That is at the bottom of them all, both private and public. I believe the most of us would be amazed at the amount of money we reall-y take in and spend, if we kept a strict account, There is a general standard to which all get as near as they can, or surpass it just a little. Tin's standard today is just out of the. reach of most parents. Yet their children don't wish to be be hind, and the parent's ambition is usually greater than the child's. It varmmuB a bbv&i WWUMMM6ffl'& &FSrBS BMS2 iLLB That Are Buried Afford a Theme. For a Beautiful Allegory by Mrs. Scott HorticulturaP Meeting. The May meeting of the Summit County Horticultural society was held at the beautiful home of Mrs. Cyrus Bettes and son on Home av., one mile south of the village of Cuy ahoga Falls. It was an ideal May day, with ideal people, who had ideal thoughts, so that altogether the meeting was an. ideal one, long to be remembered by the many members and friends who-were present to en joy the good things always to be had at these meetings. After a sumptuous dinner the president called the meet ing to order.- The minutes of the April meeting were read by the sec retary and approved. The report on flowers by Mrs. Schenerrman, of Hudson, was lengthy and elaborate. A large table at one side of the sitting room was covered with beautiful flowers. Some old familiar friends, such as our-grandmothers cultivated in their gardens half a century ago, were smiling pleasantly and nodding graciously 'to their newer cousins which stood beside them. A bouquet of iceland poppies, brought by Miss Ellett, of Spring field, were beauties, and attracted much attention. They are of hardy and of easy culture, and their attrac tive colors and free blooming, com mends them to all lovers of flowers. B. A. Bobiuette of Northfield, had on exhibition a golden russett apple which was very firm and showed the good keeping quality of this variety. Dr. Lyder of- Akron, told how he kept apples in excellent condition by placing them in stone jars in the cellar, and keeping them well cover ed with stone lids. From the discussion on Orchards it was quite evident that the pros pects for apples and cherries, and in some localities pears, never was bet ter. While peaches and plums would no doubt be scarce, present indica tions are that small fruit will be abundant, with perhaps the excep tion of raspberries. Mrs. C. E. Barnes on "Botany," read a report of the cultivation "of the lily, which should be remembered by all who intend to grow these beautiful flow ers. The bulbs should be planted in the fall and at least six inches deep, in rich, mellow soil. The essay read by Mrs. O. "W. Scott of .Tallmadge, on "Buried Treasures,'" while not strictly a hor ticultural production, was suggestive of' much thought. The discussion which followed was very interesting. The essay by Mrs. Scott, follows: "In reading these thoughts I make no plea or apology. I simply ask you to apply to them, 'Hawthorne's "Receipt.' "Simple, delightful, breakfast, dinner or supper appropriate for whose components may 'always be found within you. Requiring no visit to cellar or store. Take a gill of forbearance, four ounces oi pa-H tience, a pinch of submission, a handful of grace; mix well with the milk of the best human kindness. Serve at once, with a radiant smile on your face." "BURIED TREASURES." "My name had been put down for an essay at this meeting and the committee had told the society that consent was given and I was spend ing time and strength thinking. Shall I contradict? When looking the Ohio Farmer over for an inspira tion this stransre nuery struck my eye: "Buried Treasure. Can any one tell me bow" to find a buried treasure, when you know there is such, yet do not know where and how to locate it? Any information will be gladly received by Mrs. Farmer." "Buried Treasure, and for a farm er's wife. It certainly can't be com posed of muclr.gold or silver. But come to think of it, perhaps it is. One of our members tells how he buried gold, time, feed and patience turning the ice house into a hennery. An other valuable member tells how he buried the horticultural profits try ing to mix farming with his horti culture work. "But what are woman's treasures? I answer: Husband and children, and through them the hope of better ing the world. Now no woman can take good care of her treasures un less she first takes care of herself. Selfish you say. No. Nothing but every-day good housekeeping will ruin the health and spirits of any woman, and such a woman can make a whole family unhappy. "You say, 'What makes her work so hard? Why don't she take more recreation? Let the children help, or keep hired help?' Ah ! my friend usually it is for the want of money. The principal war cry now days is: How shall I make more money?' I don't think it is because we" as a generation love money more, but be cause we have more call for it. You say, 'why so?' Well, in the good olden times no one was in debt, and all, as a rule, put up with what they had. Now every nation is in debt: overy state, county, township, and used to be thought that the children on the farm should go to school through the winter months only, and the rest of the time help their par ents. And .some great substantial men and women grew from such homes. If there was a particularly smart child he in some way found his way to the front.and appreciated it, too, when he got there. We once had a young man 17 years old work ing for us. His father was a well-to-do Irishman, thrifty and saving. This boy studied shorthand even ings, noons, any time, while he was working for us. yet he did not neg lect his. work. Today he fills a trusty official position. You say such boys are scarce. Yes, they are, and so are such boys or men even after their parents have shoved -them through college. Today children must go to scliool, no matter how little liking they have for books, or even if their constitutions are not strong. Oh, no! We must keep near the standard .even if we bury prec ious treasures on . the way. Look where you will and you can see homes with the parents depending on lured help, and in debt, and yet spending money keeping children in school or in some Dosition; all the time living on hope, never complain ing. Parents rejoice in what they do for their children, until, alas, how many.drop on the way and become 'Buried Treasures." Yet, is it wise? Read the life of Frank Calloway, who is on trial for Killing his wile in St. Louis. He was a fair, average student, and if he had no defined ambitions, his parents had them for him and decided to make a doctor of their son. Of course it cost money, but Frank had a brilliant career ahead, and would be the staff and comfort of their old age. It was the old story. A handsome, petted boy. out from under his mother's watchful Leye. All was made easy tor nun, and now see the end, '.Buried Treas ure.' "The standard today seems to be to save the children from cares, making life hard for the parents and, I think, hard on the children, too. They don't seem to have time to be young. Why by flf teen they are young ladies and gentlemen. 'Buried Treasure.' I don't think the coming generation will be able to appreciate this man's longing: "Make me a child again. I like to be a boy again, without a woe or care, with freckles scattered on my face and hayseed in my hair. I'd like to rise at 4 o'clock and do the chores, and saw the wood. and feed the hogs, and herd thej hens, ami watch the bees, and take mules to drink, and teach the tur keys how to swim so that they wouldn't sink, and milk the cows, bring the wood, and churn, and churn, and churn, and wear my brothers cast off clothes, and walk four miles to school and get a licking every day for breaking some old rule. And then get home at night and do the chores again, and crawl wearily upstairs and see my little bed and hear dad say: 'That worth less boy he isn't worth his bread.' I'd like to be a boy again a boy has so much fun. I guess there is noth ing pleasanter than herding bees and chasing bees and doing evening chores.' "But, you say, we are in this stan dard's power and must keep follovy ing the rounds. I don't think so," I say it is wrong to let public opinion affect all we do. Our nation must have a new White House, because we are the equal of any nation and we must show it by grandeur. Our state and-county buildings must be the best. Why? Oh! to show that we are just as good and well off as anybody. "Farmer, farmer's wives and chil dren, to a certain extent, buy, build, and educate with due regard to this standard of today in spite of their better judgment. "The power the standards of today have over us, makes one think of. Uncle Ephnam's mule. "Is you gwine ter let that mewel do as he pleases?" asked Uncle Ephriam's wife. 'Whar's yoh will power?.' " 'My will power?' he answerered. "My will power's all right. You jest "want ter come out hyar an' measure dis 'er mewel's won't pow er." "I believe if we co'uld throw off this yoke, and each family solve its own problems regardless of public opinions, and have our children more of a help and less)expense, that farm me couiu ue made proutable, and farm life alluring to most of our children. I believe children would have more work and less tempta tions. Patents more lest and fewer 'buried treasures.' You say talk is easy, but lifting the burden would be hard. So it would be. "I never saw "Taking up the white man's burden" pictured easy and pleasing to the lifter but once. And that was the picture of a poor drunken white man on the ground in a drunken stupor, and a darkey tak ing a whiskey bottle trom his pocket. Some one said: Here, you nigger. what are you doing? He replied: "Taking up the white man's bur den." 'Some one says it is too late; we might have broken loose in the be ginning, but now there is no hope. -Liisten I Every day Is a fresh beginning; Every morn Is the world made new; You who are wenry ot sorrow and sinning.

Obituary Lewis Smith was born July 9, 1818, in Biskirchen, Rhine- 1'russia, Uermany, and died May 10, 1939, at his late residence near Clin ton. His father, John Adam Smith, who was the recorder and school teacher of their home town,emigrated to this country with his wife, Catha- rine(Weaver) and family when Lewis was only three years old. Before they were permitted to land, while the men were all ashore, the ship was boarded by robbers anil Mr. Smith lost $7,500 in cash. He worked for a while in the employ of a relative near Baltimore and later York, Pa., and Canton, O., but finally he set tled on a small farm east of Canal Fulton. Here, amid many priva tions and much hard work he brought up his two girls and one son, Lewis. On July 10, 1845, Lewis Smith and Elizabeth Ivroft Avere united in marriage. After living on several different farms a number of years he bought the farm now occu pied by his son, Jacob, whither he removed in 1853, worked the soil, built the home and reared his family. He removed thence to his late resi dence, in 18S8. His first wife died Dec. 10, 1876, and he was married to Mrs. Louisa Fritz May 15, 1877. Mr. Smith is the head of a large family. Four children have preceded him in death and there re mains his wife and sister, Mrs. Eliz abeth (Smith) Bowman, four sons, J. Adam, William B., David C, and Jacob, and 22 direct grand children; with his first wife, one step-daughter, Mrs. Louis Ruch, four grand children and two great grand child ren; with his second wife, three step daughters and 10 grand children, Mrs. Max Meckes, . Mrs. Geo. Vantilburg and Mrs. Milton Benner all of Ashland, Ohio. In infancy, ho was baptised by Rev. Binglo, in Germany. He was confirmed in the Reformed church in Canal Fulton, in 1810, by Rov. J. W. Haun, and under him beoamo a prominent member in' tho Reformed church in Manchester. When the Lutheran church in Clinton was started he took a prominent part in the building of tho edifice and wel fare of the congregation. Ho has been an earnest worker, a faithful member, and a prominent official, an older and trustee, which office ho still occupied at death. His last ill ness and the immediate cause of death was accompanied with distress and pain. In November, 1897, we was stricken with a light stroke of paralysis. Though partially recov ered therefrom, he lflSver again regained his full strength. About two months after his 80th birthday his fatal disease, dropsy, attacked him. He rallied once more, but the extreme cold of the latter part of this winter again prostrated him. For ten days preceding his death he could not rest except when sitting in one position. Finally on the morning of the day of his death he was carefully tended, dressed and laid on his bed by his doctor and nurse. Here he lay till evening, when he peacefully passed away, as so often he had earnestly wished and prayed for. The funeral services were conducted May 12th at 1 p.m. by his pastor at the Lutheran church of Clinton, and his body was interred in the cemetery near by.

CLEVER MILITARY TRICK- The Stratngem liy 'Which Sir Francli Vere Defeated the Spiinlxli. When Philip II debated the qnestion of coercing with fire and sword the Dutchman, who did cot like the taies which they thenielves did not vote, the Dnke of Alva counseled violent meas ures, for in his eyes the rebels weie only "men of butter." jKeverthelesa he fonnd that these men, so fond of cows anil bens, could hold his veterans at bay. finally overcome them in the field, and after SO years leave poor Spain "a broken backed tiger." Indeed in time of war country folk with baskets of eggs and butter escited no suspicion even to alert sentinels. Taking advantage of this fact. Sir Francis Vere determined to recapture from the Spaniards the Zutphen sconces. or torts, dv a stratagem. In lo'Jl be picked ont some lusty and handsome young soldiers and dressed most of them like the Gelderland egg women and the rest as Boers. With bundles of vegeta bles, baskets of eggs and butter, but also with daggers and pistols inside their clothes, they were ferried cciu the river by twos and threes. They sat near the gate of the fort beingalready, at the break of day, chatting and ges ticulating, as if in some tremendous argument about the rise or fall of mar ket prices. Then, according to arrangement, Yere sent some cavalry forward, as if ap proaching, and the pretended country people ran in feigned terror toward the fort. The gates were at once thrown open to receive them. They all streamed in, threw off their disguises, and in a few minutes were in possession of the forts of the town, where the gallant Sir Philip Sidney afterward lost his life by being more rash and less shrewd than the veteran Vere.

"There is a distinct upper class of book agents who never come in contact with 'the general pnblic," remarked Mr. Charles II. Meyers. "I have been interested in art pnhlications for a number of years and know most of the tiptop salesmen in the country. They handle books that range from 50 to $500 in price and only call on people who figure on certain select lists. These lists arc the result of the cullings of years, and, combined, they represent nearly all of the high class book bnyers of the United States. Each publishing house has its own collection of names, .and they az-e valued highly. "I call to mind one firm that failed and went ont of business several years ago and its roster of buyers was consid ered its very best asset. It was pur chased for something like $5,000. Tho class of books handled by the agents to whom I refer wonld greatly astonish the everyday patron of the shops. They are printed in very limited editions, and every refinement of mechanical art is lavished on their preparation. Some times the edition numbers only 25 or 30, and as soon as it is off the press the typo is taken down and distributed. The illustrations are frequently water color paintings or artists' proofs of etchings, and it is quite common for the vignette letters to be tinted by hand. "Such books are never advertised, but are easily disposed of to the inner circle of rich connoisseurs. The agents who take the orders are the princes of the business. I know on j who makes easily 10,000 a year, and they are nearly all well to do. They are continu ally on the go, but if yon were to en connter one of them at a hotel the chances are yon would never gness his vocation. What are the topics of the books they sell ? Oh !

As soon as tho cloth' was romoved and the wine placed ou the tabletho host called for tho bill, which am'onnted to 21,700 reis. "Go, leave me to my misery, boys!" ejaculated the nnhappy man. "There isn't money enough in tho ship to pay that bilL I nm a mined community.. Landlord, this is a mean swindle. Here's 150, and it's allyou'll get. I'll swim in blood beforo I'll pay a cent more."

Old Dr. Ilawlcy got out of the cars at Jliddleton, where ho was existing to meet his Cousin Tom's widow, that ho hadn't seen for ten years or moro. ! The doctor was a widower of some years' standing, and, his sister having just died, he calculated on having tho old lady keep house for him, if everything suited. It was growing dusk, and, putting on his spectacles, ho peered carefully around for tho object of his search. "That's her," hu muttered, as ho caught a glimpse of a figure s-o muffled up in a waterproof and hood that nothing elso could bo clearly discerned but that it was evidently a woman. "Polly Muggins all over! Afraid as ever of all tho male crea tions and as fearful of showing her face as when she was In her teens! But thero ain't no time to lose." . Tho train came, thundering up to tho ' depot, and, drawing the muffled figure's arm in his-, which seemed to mako no re sistance, tho two got on. They had scarcely disappeared when Philip Ainslio came hurrying up. ' Ho looked around with a disappointed air, and then, perceiving a femalo figure enveloped in a largo cloak and clofcly veiled, Ids face brightened. As his eyo caught the gleam of a hand kerchief, ho eagerly approached. "My own darling!" Jio whispered, stretching out ono hand to relieve her of her traveling bag and with the other draw ing her arm in his. "I was afraid you had disappointed mo. This way. Wo have no timo to lose." Instantly tho arm was twitched away from his with a forco that nearly sent him over backward. "Your darling: indeed !" said a sharp, wiry voice, that sent a thrill of terror to his soul. "What do yo mean by such im pudence, yo sassy, good fur nothin jacka dandy?" Tho speaker had thrown hack her veil, revealing to Ainslie's-liorrified gazo a face as unlike that of sweet Jennie Armstrong ns it is possible to conceive. "I I beg ten thousand pardonst ma'am. It's all a mistake. I" "Yes, an I should ruthcr think it was a mistake-!" was tho wrathful rejoinder. "An it's a-mistake that yo hadn't better mako ag'in not with me. Goin to steal my ridicule, wasn't ye?" The old lady gavo a closer look at tho object of her wrath. "Why, bless me! If it ain't Phil Ains lio, whose father lived nest door to mo an who left his own lawful, married pardner an run away with oldVtkin's wife. Oh, ye needn't look so strange, ye deceitful, two faced, smooth tongued vilyun. I know yo!" A crowd had now begun to gather around, and, without a word of defense or denial, tho discomfited man slunk away. In the meantime tho cars containing Dr. Hawley and hiscompanion started on. As tho doctor conducted his ward to a seat he noticed, with sonic feurprise, tho tremor that shook her frame. "I hono I didn't keep you waiting long, ma'am," lie said as ho prepared to tako a seat by her side. Jennie started at tho sound of his voice, and, throwing back her veil, gavo the doctor a look of terror and dismay, who in his turn stared at her in equal aston ishment. "Dear, dear!" sho cried, wringing her hands. "What shall I do? "Where is Phil ip? What will he, think of me?" "This is a most unlucky blunder," said tho doctor, in almost equal distress. "Tell me tho iiamo of your friend, and perhaps I can find him." "Ainslie." "Philip Ainslio?" "Yes." Dr. Hawley lopked curiously into that innocent, girlish face. Jennie now began to fear that sho had been too communicatis o to a stranger and her cheeks flushed painfully. "Do you know himf" sho faltered. "Better than I wish I did.
